The B1G had a phenomenal opening weekend. Only three teams lost (Indiana, Rutgers and Purdue), but all three performed admirably.

Indiana had No. 2 Ohio State on the ropes for a bit, Rutgers played No. 8 Washington strong for a while too and Purdue gave No. 16 Louisville a run for its money.

So, with that, it brings up questions who is the top dog in the conference.

BTN’s Tom Dienhart took a look at the B1G after its Week 1 performance and released his latest power rankings. Here is what he believes is the order of the B1G after Week 1:

  1. Ohio State
  2. Penn State
  3. Wisconsin
  4. Michigan
  5. Northwestern
  6. Maryland
  7. Iowa
  8. Nebraska
  9. Michigan State
  10. Minnesota
  11. Indiana
  12. Purdue
  13. Rutgers
  14. Illinois

Here is Dienhart’s reasoning behind his rankings. Do you agree with Dienhart?
